    Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)

    Synopsis: Borat Sagdiyev, a popular television personality from Kazakhstan travels to America accompanied with his producer Azamat Bagatov to make a documentary film to benefit the Kazakh Ministry of Information. During his stay, he interviews various American citizens, including politicians and campaign groups in an attempt to gain knowledge of American customs. Whilst staying in a hotel, Borat stumbles across an repeat episode of Baywatch and immediately falls in love with Pamela Anderson, and so, this now becomes his aim for the cross country visits, to meet Pamela Anderson and make her his wife, rather than to learn of American traditions. After sometime, and many visits across the states, Borat finds his producer masturbating over a Baywatch magazine Borat had acquired at a sale and Borat reveals his real motive for his visit which culminates in a naked fight between the two, taking place in their crowded hotel. The two then separate as Azamat takes what money is left, their transport and Borats pet Bear, leaving Borat homeless and hitchhiking. During which, he discovers Pamela Andersons sex tape which breaks his heart, and Christianity. Hitchhiking with some Christians, he finds Azamat dressed as Oliver Hardy, although Borat misunderstands him for Adolf Hitler. The two reconcile and together find Pamela Anderson to try and make her Borats wife; although they are unsuccessful. After this, Borat moves back to Kazakhstan with an American prostitute Luenell, they marry and the cultural learnings of America are evident within Borats community as they are introduced to a world of iPods and LCD. A Critical Review: Personally, I believe this is Sacha Baron Cohens defining film. His creation, the Kazakh television presenter Borat Sagdiyev is possibly the most impersonated film character today. I

    also believe half the films success is due to Cohens incredible skills of improvisation, as the majority of the film is improvised, most notably the interviews, as they are believable not only to the people who fall for Cohens act in the film, but to an audience who can believe the

    performance and pass him off as a foreigner with no understanding of American traditions or customs. Postmoderism Themes: Borat parodies not only foreign stereotypes, but documentaries alike, down to every last detail of traveling and discovering montages and interviews with notable figures in local communities.
